Hello All!
So I'm driving in the rain today for about 45 minutes when suddenly water spills on me from the ceiling, around where the dome lights are. My wife in the passenger seat says some water was also dripping from the ceiling on the far right side, but then it suddenly stopped. My first thought was a clogged sunroof drain but it is still too wet outside to check for that. Has anyone seen this problem before? Thanks in advance.
 






My first thought would also be clogged moonroof drains. Perhaps there was just too much water for them to handle although the usual sign of clogged drains is water in the footwells.
Some members, I believe, have had water dripping from the overhead map lights.

Yes, I am thinking that is the case. I fixed that problem on another car before and ended up re-routing the drain hose through a hole I drilled behind the wheel well. This time I am thinking of getting a roll of weed wacker line and pushing it through the hose to hopefully clean out whatever is clogging it. Thanks for letting me know that it is a known problem.
